HOPE For AMERICAS NAVY,
Comm odore Wilson Appears to TIiinl
That Its Outlook Is Very Bright.

| Commodore Wilson Appears to Think
| That Its Outlook Is Very Bright
! WASHINGTON, Nov 6-Commodore T. d.
! Wilson, chief of the bureau of construction
and repair of the Navy Department, has
! submitted his annual report TO the Secre-
] tary Of the Navy. He renews
his recommendation that two new
vessels of about 1000 tons each be
built TO replace the training ships Saratoga,
jamestown and Portsmouth, which can not
possibly be kept in service much longer,
| and he asks that special authority be given
! for the repair of the historic sloop-of-war
Hartford, at a cost of 1915, 600. In con-
| ciusiOn the report says:
| 1.-THE outlook for the navy in the near future
very hopeful one, and with the completion
of the vessels now projected the navy will con-
sist of number Of modern vessels, admirably
adapted to the varied needs Of the service. The
| character Of the work beng done on the vessels
now building and those lately completed shows
that our ship builders able to turn out YES
| sells of war second to none in the world. The
establishment of the gun factory at Washing
ton and introduction by the Bethlehem iron
works of a plant to furnish heavy armor and gun
| forgings makes the United States absolutely
| independent of other countries in the construc-
| ton and armament Of her ships-of-war, and If
| the work of rebuilding the navy is only kept up
| as it is now going shall soon have q navy
| that will be a credit as well as protection TO
| our country and our country's interests"
| Tables attached to the report show the ex-
| act condition of every vessel In the navy.
| This table shows that in three years we
| shall have twenty-one of the wooden yes
| sells remaining, in six years but four, and in
| nine years the entire wooden navy will have
| disappeared.
